Where can I find a list of browser safe fonts? I mean fonts I can use in my webpages which will be displayed correctly in different browsers and versions both with Windows and Mac.

UPDATE:

Yes, I know how to search with Google. I just thought someone at this forum could give me a link to a matrix with font/browser/browserversion/os support of fonts. Like http://www.quirksmode.org/compatibility.html for CSS support.

I found something that comes close to what I meant: http://www.upsdell.com/BrowserNews/res_fonts.htm

There are such lists:

• http://web.mit.edu/jmorzins/www/fonts.html

These is just one good link from a quick google search for "safe web font".

You can learn quite a lot from the wikipedia entry for Web Typography.

This may not be the exact answer you were searching, but you can use more fonts than the web-safe ones with services like Cufón:

A quick search revealed the following list: http://www.ampsoft.net/webdesign-l/WindowsMacFonts.html

Google is your friend, too: http://www.google.com/search?q=web+safe+fonts

Go for most common fonts between all domains. I would suggest Verdana, it is probably one of the widely used font, which is supported by almost all OS.

Or go from one of the following list

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-family: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif;
font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif;
font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;
font-family: Courier, monospace;
font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-family: Garamond, serif;
font-family: Georgia, serif;
font-family: Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif;
font-family: 'Lucida Console', Monaco, monospace;
font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;
font-family: 'MS Sans Serif', Geneva, sans-serif;
font-family: 'MS Serif', 'New York', sans-serif;
font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif;
font-family: Symbol, sans-serif;
font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-family: Webdings, sans-serif;
font-family: Wingdings, 'Zapf Dingbats', sans-serif;
